Love is All around...

The above title is fine and dandy to hear, but I'm sure there will be at least one person to read this who thinks "Yeah, okay Kelsi we all know you're just an optimist, but you have NO idea what my life is like or has been like in the past! You have no idea what I've been through, where I'm at, or the person I have become."

Guess what???

You're totally right!!!
My own best friend is going to have certain things through out her life that I may not be able to understand, and maybe even a thing or two that I will never know about, so of course I'm not going to know or understand who you are and what you have gone or are going through! However, the fact of the matter is that we ALL go through stuff...tough stuff...miserable stuff...stuff that haunts us for years on end.
Maybe I sound like a broken record to some of you, but this is not the end! There's a man I like to call on, Jesus Christ, who DIED ON A CROSS FOR YOU AND FOR ME!!! He wore a crown of thorns, He endured whip lashings like no other, and then He had nails hammered into his veins and bones just so all this crappy stuff you're dealing with could be taken away! No bad can be taken away if it doesn't ever come, so smile when you're in the storm; raise your hands up and beg for help and/or forgiveness and  realize that because the storm is present, the sunshine is on it's way! God's hands are nearby and ready to shelter you from the storm.

There are few and far between who know my true life's past, and though I would like to pour my heart and soul out on this blog and share everything I have been through to get me where I am today, I honestly don't have the gull (yet). But the day will come, fellow "bloggers", haha. I promise you that one day  I will share with you my pains and my struggles. Even though many of my major screw ups feel like they were so long ago, it is still such a fresh scar, hence why those who were there through it all and Taylor are the only one's who truly know.

Though I'm not sharing all of me yet, I can tell you that I won't pretend to understand your hurts and struggles, but I also won't leave you out in the dust to feel alone because no matter how you feel we all must remember that every single person around us is hurting! We're living in a hurt-filled world, hello!?! The hurt is all relative based off our upbringing and life experiences thus far, but it is present for each and every being who will ever grace this Earth.

LOVE IS ALL AROUND...
You just have to be open and willing to it.

UNTIL NEXT TIME:

"You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
- Romans 5:6-8
